Ohio General Assembly urges U.S. Congress to implement zero-based budgeting, which requires federal agencies to build budgets from scratch each cycle rather than using prior year spending as a baseline

Zero-based budgeting would require agencies to justify every dollar requested and rank programs by priority, enabling policymakers to evaluate cost-effectiveness and eliminate waste

References federal legislation S. 181 introduced in the 119th Congress with seven U.S. Senate co-sponsors that would require federal agencies to submit zero-based budgets

Directs the Clerk of the Ohio House to transmit copies of the resolution to all Ohio members of Congress and Ohio news media
